Video speeds ahead of audio

[Shinobi13]

Hi

I really hope somebody can help me here, I use these forums all the time but I have not yet come across a topic that deals with the error I am encounting.

Basically when I playback my DVD that I have authored every 5 mins or so the video speeds up and leaves the audio behind, then the sound gets jumpy and the vid freezes until the audio catches up again (lasts about 30secs). I have tried all sorts and not found a cure to this.

It only happens with 24fps files that I have re-encoded to 29fps.

The really strange thing is that I never used to have problems like this and using the same source that I used 1 month ago (that turned out fine) this time the video skips. I have even formatted my computer and started from scratch and used different DVD players to playback wih no luck.

I have tried re-encoding the video and all sorts, even using 3 different videos but still no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas or has come across this before? It odoes not happen when I make 25fps videos.


Thanks

Shinobi

Does the Playback Speed problem occur on a PC or a DVD Player ?

[Shinobi13]

It happens on both DVD player and on PC using Win Media player and Power DVD, exactly the same spots.

The actually MPEG plays fine on PC

What was the original source and what are you using to encode?

[Shinobi13]

The original source was .avi - Xvid framerate of 23.97 fps with ac3 audio.

i used TMPGEnc to convert the file using 3:2 pulldown. I am using Ulead DVD Worshop 2 to author it. i have also tried Moviefactory 2 and it does exactly the same thing.

Thanks
